Digging Out of a Safety Rut

In the latest issue of the Transportation Practice Specialty’s publication, TransActions, Mark Mitchell, director of safety for Alaska Railroad Corporation, maintains that “safety needs to be changed not just in the railroad industry, but nationwide and worldwide.” Mitchell says, “The functional elements of safety are stuck in a rut, and the profession is responsible for digging out of that rut.”

What do you believe is the first step SH&E professionals must take to dig safety out of a rut?
